I’m sorry, but I seriously love this silly group of people and their irreverent haggis sightings.

For those of my non Scottish friends, the definition of haggis is as follows:
Traditionally, a Haggis is made from the lung, liver, and heart of the sheep. These are mixed with oatmeal and a few spices and stuffed into the sheep’s stomach. After being boiled, the Haggis is brought to the table with a great deal of ceremony. A piper ushers in the Haggis and all raise a glass of Scotch whiskey and “brrreath a prrayerr for the soul of Rrrobbie Burrrns!” It is then served with “neeps and nips,” mashed turnips and nips of whiskey. I think you have to drink a lot of Scotch before you can truly enjoy this dish, but a party of Scots without a Haggis is simply not heard of.
.
While I proudly lay claim to Scots ancestry, I cannot honestly say I’ve ever enjoyed their much beloved national dish.

But that doesn’t stop me from chortling over the continued quest to spot the elusive wild haggis.

Wily creatures, those haggi.

Ouch!

River's world..... 
My step-grandfather once brought home a haggis. He never did that again.

If I’ve learned anything from this page it’s that haggi are much better in the wild.

Love haggis – hate whisky! 😀🏴
(There’s also a species of haggis that lives on the steep slopes of the Highlands and has adapted to this environment over centuries by growing two of its four legs shorter than the others. So it can keep an even keel as it moves.
The best way of catching these wee blighters then, is to chase it the opposite way around the mountain side so it quickly becomes unbalanced and topples over and rolls down the hill into a catcher’s net.)

The haggis animal is fake, i would consider eating the food but boiled makes it sound incredibly unappealing 🤢

Now here’s a thing, on Burn’s night I have a veggie haggis – how does that work?

A veggie haggis is not a haggis.

I was just about to pout and say, indignantly, ‘Yes it is. It is called a v’aggis!’ But I thought better of it…

I was in Edinburgh on a night when Scotland was playing against England for the World Cup. A guy in a pub told me that because I was American he’d buy me a pint, adding that if I’d been English he might put a knife in me, which is the only thing I can think of worse than having haggis.
